Foreword"Self-Sufficiency" vs. "Subsistence"The word "subsistence" has taken on a special meaning in Alaska. In a broader general usage,"subsistence" raters to a subsistence economy, an economy in which goods and services are producedand consumed locally by an indigenous population. This is in contrast to a cash economy, an,er'onomy inwhich money is used as a vehicle for trade and in which goods and services are traded-extensivelybetween regions and between groups of people.
In,Alaska there are virtually no complete subsistence economies, but there are many groups of peoplewho provide many,products for-themselves by collecting and processing local resources, especially theproducts of hunting, fiShing, and gathering. The subsistence activities are combined with a casheconomy, establishing many mixed economies through's:jut the state. Ustially in Alaska when the wordsubsistence is used, what is meant is the collection of food from natural resources for local consumption(Often this definition is further narrowed to meaning the use of these, natural resources by people who livein rural areas and who provide' a large proportion of their total food by such means.) Some groups,especially those who have, historically used particular natural resources or can show special need orcultural association, have been granted preferential access to certain natural resources for their ownconsumption. This preferential treatment has often been,the center of much debate within Alaska.
It is not our purpose here to address theControversies regarding subsistence, but to present the variousskills neaessary to live a "subsistence lifestyle" in,Alaska. To incorporate 'those skills not necessarilyhistorical; but .which can be-termed a "sell-sufficient" lifestyle, we will, for, the purposes of this curriculumuse the term "self-sufficiency" in place of subsistence.
This competency-based curriculuM is designed to be a handbook for renewable naturalresources4,1griculture in Alaska. It includes competencies a student will acquire in Renewable NaturalResourcet/AgriCulture. Such -courses ,cover the following areas: Horticulture; Anima' Science;Soil pcience/Agronomy; AgricUitural Mechanics;' Land,. Air and W6ter Management;Forestry; Fishing and- Fisheries; Outdoor Recreation; Self-Sufficiency; and WildlifeUse and Management.
Development of this handbook began with a survey of Alaskan renewable naturaltresources/agricultureemployers. Their priorities regarding the skills and knowledge students need to acquire to survive andthrive in the industry form the basis of this handbook. For example, industry's emphasis on theimportance of communication and personal skills is reflected in the Employability Skills area of theLeadership/Citizenship unit.
This handbook stresses the, importance of understanding the forces affecting Alaska's renewable naturalresources/agriculture. Most units begin with definition of terms and principles so that students, will haveconceptual frameworks for adding the details of various techniques.
The ten area's of concentration, while not intending to be comprehensive and inclusive of all employmentin renewable natural resouroes/agriculture.in Alaska, concentrates on major areas. The competencies andtasks are presented so that instructors have the prerogative to determine which aspects they want toteach in either overview course(s) or in specialty courses. Natural Resources areas were organized alvngthe following lines: I. Work With the Resource, II. Use the Resource, III. Manage and Protect theResource, IV. Define the Resource V. Understand the Importance of the Resource, VI. UnderstandCompeting' Uses so that students can obtain hands-on e .4perience and then theoretical knowledge.Agriculture areas were generally organized in the way that agriculture is taught.

The handbook is organized in six sections:
Section I introduces the concept of competency-based curriculum. The role of vocational educators incurriculum planning, implementation and evaluation is also included.
Section II provides the scope, sequence and hierarchy of Renewable Natural Resources/Agriculturecompetencies.
Section III presents the curriculum including the competencies and tasks for natural resourcesagriculture instruction.
'Section IV contains course descriptions to assist school districts in developing their' vocationalprograms.
Section V provides curriculum analysis. matrices to be used to determine competencies to be includedin specific renewable natural resources/agriculture courses.
Section VI contains a sample skills card for evaluating and recording student progress.
Section VII lists information on resources and specific materials available in 'Alaska and the rest ofnation.
It is recommended that all students participate in career awareness and exploration experiences to helpthem understand the connection between school, work and, career plans.

Introduction toCompetency-Based
Curriculum
10
Competency-Based CurriculumVocational education should be directed toward the skills, knowledge, 'and altitudes needed forsuccessful employment. Changes in technology are affecting the job requirements in renewable naturalresources/agriculture. Such changes require educators to;update their curriculum in order to preparestudents for competition in the job market.
An effective method for delivering vocational education is through a competency-based curriculum. Thiscurriculum is based on a task analysis of the key occupations in renewable natural resources/agriculture.Once a competency-based curriculum is set in place, student performance must be measured on levels ofproficiency in those competencies. Thus, the critical features of competency-based education are:
1) validating competencies to be included in the curriculum; and2) evaluation of student competency levels.
This curriculum handbook sets direction for local curriculum developers. It provides a framework fordeveloping courses of study and lesson plans in local schools.
Curriculum Based On Competencies
Competence refers to the adequate performance of a task. The task may be evaluated according to theperformance or process, the product, Or both.
Competency-Based Vocational Education consists of programs that derive their content from the tasksperformed in each occupation/job and assess student performance on the basis of preset performancestandards.
Learning materials define the competencies the student is to learn; the criteria by which the student will be.evaluated, and the conditions under which the evaluation will occur.
Competency-based instruction places emphasis on the ability to do, as well as on learning how and why.Student performance and knowledge are individually evaluated against the stated criteria, rather thanagainst group norns.
The competency process utilizes a checklist of attitudes, knowledge, and skills that are commonly neededby entry-level employees in natural resource/agriculture ocripations. In developing thin curriculumhandbook, a cross-section of natural resource/agriculture professionals were asked to respond to thechecklist on the basis of needs within their own establishments. The checklists were tallied andsummarized to determine which attitudes, knowledge, and skills weracommon to firms in Alaska. Also,the competencies in each area were ranked as to decreasing importande.
Student Performance Assessment
A curriculum becomes competency-based when students are assesrld on the basis of theircompetence. Sample skill cards are, provided in this guide for teachers who wish to use them in assessingthq competency levels of their students. The card has four levels of proficiency which allow continued
,deVelopment of skills. The card can be used to mv.ttor students' progress as they move between naturalresource/agriculture classes, between teachers, and grade levels and between school and work. Thecompleted skills card is an important part of a placement portfolio when students begin their job searches.

Curriculum 'Delivery Systems'Leadership/Citizenship(Vocational StudentLeadership Orgahizations)
Some of the competencies in this curriculum guide cannot be fully met in traditional classroom and labsettings. The Future Farmers, of America (FFA) is a delivery system which-can be,inl;gratfred into theregular schOol program. Human relations skills as,well as job skills wilrbe enhanced by Student'participation in FFA. FFA activities should complement instruction in the r.,;4ural resource/agricultureclassroom and lab. They should be Integrated as a gurriculum delivery systent and not allowed to becomean extracurricular activity. Note that with production agriculture being somewhat limited in the state ofAlaska, the skuation is unique.,. As such, the word "farmer in FFA is a misncinrr. FFA IS the organiiation-
\for,all renewable natural resources/agriculture students. FFA is for students interested, in tanning.Ivnting, wildlife, forestryall areas of renewable natural resources, including farming and agribusiness,
Supervised Occupational Experience Program (SOV),Cooperative Vocational Education (Coop) and On-theJobTraining (OJT)
Some of the competencies identified in this guide cannot be fully developed at a school site. TheFuture Farmers of American's Supervised Occupational Education Program (SOEP), CooperativeVocational Education (Coop) and On-the-Joh Training (OJT) all allow students togain work experience.SOEP, Coop and OJT inspire personal volition and boost citizenship. FFA materials pruvide a detailedplan for SOEP toy year. These materials assist with Coop and OJT Sucke frameworkcan easily match afour-year progtam in combined Renewable Natural Resources/Agriculture, Natural Reiources alone, or
-.Agriculture alone. The competencies for SOEP arel:
Competency: Understand SOEP
Tasks: Recognize the Supervised Occupational Experience Prograra.(50EP) as part of vocational educationIdentify interests in a particular field of renewable natural resources/agricultureExplain the relationship between dessroom laboratory instruction, SOEP, and Vocational StudentLeadi.,ship Organizations (such as FFA)Identify types of SOEP's and their potential locationsDescribe the assit ;since needed in developing an SOEP

A work station in the community offers realistic experiences in fulfilling the program goals in careerdevelopment and human relations. Cooperative Vocational Education offers an excellent vehicle for thedelivery of instruction. With well developed training plans, teachers and employers can cooperate toprepare students for employment. Cooperative Vocational Education extends the instructional programbeyond the availability of equipment and instructor time at the local school. Teachers and employers mustmaintain regular communications to assure that students are receiving a high quality experience.Cooperative Vocational Education is *sometimes called On-the-Job Training (OJT) A well-organized andstructured Supervised Occupational Experience Prograni (SOEP) can accomplish the same purpose asCooperative Vocational Education or OJT.
Other programs offering work experience include the Rural Student Vocational Program (RSVP) and TheJob Training Partnership Act. RSVP provides a two -week full time work experiel ice for students from ruralareas where job stations are limited or non-existent. JTPA provides on-the-job experience todisadvantaged youth in both urban and rural areas.

Role of Instructor in CurriculumPlanning, Implementation andEvaluationThe vocational instructor futfilh many roles which include the following responsibilities:
Prepares a written- vocational program plan.
Develops and maintains a written program philosophy with objectives that support thephilosophy.
Maintains a written list of-competencies identified as needed for the program area.

Uses a grading procedure that is made available and appropriate to all studentsat the beginning oftheir program.
Setsan example for grooming and dress that is generally found in the occupational area in business orindustry to enable students to establish appropriate standards.
Benefits of Competency-Based- Curriculum
Competency-based vocational education onus several benefits to-students:
1. The competencies/tasks are directed to the student and provide measurable criteria for determiningwhen the student has acquired the necessary, knowledge and skills.
2. Students receive realistic training for the job. They become competent in tasks that are relevant to theoccupation.
3. Students know what is expected of them throughout the course. The competencies are madeavailable to them at the onset. They know what they will be doing and how well it must be
-done.
4. Each student is individually responsible for completing each competency attempted in the curriculum.
5. Students are not compared with other students in their accomplishments because each is expectedto work according to his/her individual capabilities and learning style. Because of the variousevaluation policies of different school systems, the ideal of not comparing students in determininggrades not atways possible. However, the basic thrust of the competency-based program is toevaluate each student according to his/her accomplishment of each task as he/she works up toindividual capability.

Program DevelopmentThe format of this haridbook was selected to aid administrators and teachers in concentrating on the skillsneeded for vocational training. It will assist in selecting the array of units and the delivery system which fitthe school. This provides the flexibility of varying the course content to include the most valuable skills asappropriate for the scope and sequence. The primary importance is that students are able to securefoundation skills. Schools can vary their delivery systems to maximize student' opportunities by:
1. Offering co'irses on alternate years or other planned sequences
2. -Offering two or more courses in the same class
3. Providing individualized materials and instruction
Matrices are included in this guide for use in planning the courses to be offered and the content of eachcourse.

Analysis Matrices
Curriculum Analysis Matrices
Identified Competencies by Course Offerings
competency checklist should be used by teachers in identifying corripetencies to, be included inspecific classes in Renewable Natural. Resources/Agriculture education. This checklist is a curriculumanalysis tool for use by teachers in assigning responsibilities for the competencies of a total FlnewableNatural Resources/Agriculture education program. All courses taught in the Renewable NaturalResources/Agriculture education program are identified in the columns at the top of the matrix,. Theindividual competencies can be allocated to specific courses. One method for analyzing, the competencylist is to assign letters where the competency will be introduced (I), taught (T), or mastered (M). Curriculumsequences can be organized through this approach.
To.essist teachers to reinforce basic skills instruction, competencies have been cross-referenced with thefollowing academic areas:
Math (M) Silence (S)Social Studies (SS) Language Arts (LA)
This will assist local school districts in awarding cross-credit (academic credit) for participation in vocationalclasses they deem appropriate. The following checklists are also cross-referenced with pre-employmentcompetencies and student leadership competencies. The Job Training Partnership Act provides funds totrain economically disadvantaged youth to enter and succeed in employment. Each Private Industry
111111
Ocuncil responsible for administering these funds adopted youth pre-employment competencies as oneof the measures jor positive termination for prograin participants. The other measures are attained.through unsubsidized employment, or through another training program.
The following categories of work-related knowledge must be evaluated and measured in the course of aparticipant's enrollment in a JTPA program:
1. Pro-Employment Competencies, which require the participant to demonstrate the skills andknowledge necessary to identify career objectives, seek and obtain employment and understand jobperformance.
2. Work Maturity Competencies, which require the participant to demonstrate the ability to applyskills in a training position.
3. Educational Skills Competencies, which require the participant to demonstrate basiccomputation and communication skills necessary to enter the labor market.
4. Occupational Skills Competencies, which require the participant demonstrate proficiency inthosildlls necessary tonaintain employment in a specific occupation or occupational cluster.
The pre-employment and workmaturity competencies have been specifically cross-referenced in thiscurriculum so that natural resource instructors could specify where these competencies are integratedinto the curriculum. _Stuaieni_'lesdershin programs ere designed to be en Integral Hart ofhp curriculum: The-competencies are reinforced by student participation in approved student
Organizations such as Future Farmers of America (FFA). The student leadership competencies havebeen cross- referenced in this handbook to assist the natural resource instructor in iciantifying specificallywhere these competencies will be taught.
